Static compaction of soils with varying clay content Alexandr Zhemchuzhnikov1, a *, Khosrow Ghavami1, b, Michéle Dal Toé Casagrande 1, c 1 Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, Department of Civil Engineering, Marquês de São Vicente, 225 – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil aalx.zhm@gmail.com, bghavamil@puc-rio.br, cmichele.casagrande@hotmail.com Keywords: Static compaction, Compressed Earth Block, Clay.
It is widely used for the improvement of the mechanical characteristics of soil in earth construction and geotechnical engineering.
When the compaction properties of a soil are known, it is possible to prepare samples in the laboratory representative of the material in the field to be used for the determination of its engineering characteristics.
